Blurb:
Wu Zhuqing is working temporarily at a castle on an island in the middle of a lake.
The castle's owner, Su Yanbai, is young, successful, handsome, refined, and polite.
Behind his glasses, his eyes are like a dark pool shimmering with flecks of light.
When Wu Zhuqing gazed at him, harboring a secret crush, he was imagining her standing in his room wearing a maid's dress.
It turned out Su Yanbai's particular tastes, his domineering nature, his lustfulness, his need for control, and his cold, calculating rationality... were all hidden beneath his mild-mannered exterior. He treated her like a canary in a cage.
That night, Wu Zhuqing struggled with all her might. Her fingernails scraped the corner of Su Yanbai's eye, and she felt them catch on his skin.
Su Yanbai touched the corner of his eye. There was a small cut. He grabbed Wu Zhuqing's hand and examined it.
Her nails were pointed, with smoky pink polish. Her hands were delicate and soft, like works of art.
Hadn't he paid for everything that made her this way? How could Wu Zhuqing treat him like this?
He had promised her a lifetime of comfort and luxury. Why did she still want to break up with him and leave?
